So I connected my Sd card with my computer the other day, and I used Paragon Partition Manager. Didn't think too much before doing it. SD card won't show on windows, but can see it in my phone.
Also, my phone's internal storage is showed as a portable mediaplayer. Why won't it show like a external drive? Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I have all USB drivers installed.

The first couple of times I plugged the Bionic into the USB port under the USB Mass Storage setting it showed the Internal storage as a drive labeled MOT as well as the SD Card labeled Removable Disk. It was necessary to move some restore data to the internal disk because the app could not find the data on the SD Card. It was necessary to do this with another app and Win7 popped up a Disk error for the internal storage drive. Now Win7 cannot access that disk. I had errors on the SD Card on my Droid1 and was able to take the card out of the phone and put the card directly into the Win7 card reader and do an Error Check and Repair. Any ideas on how to do an error repair on the internal storage disk on the Bionic?

Does your Bionic have ext4 partitions ? You can run e2fsck .

On the Samsung Epic 4GT you can access both the internal drive and SD card when you plug it in to the computer. Can we not do that with the EvoLTE? I only get the SD card read. The Samsung does both simultaneously.

This is normal as most HTC devices don't have the extra built in storage that the Samsung devices have

When I connect using Media Sync instead of Disk drive, the phone shows up as "android phone" in windows 7, and inside android phone there is both "sd card" and "ext sd card". Mounting using disk drive only give access to ext sd card.

Media Sync lets you access MTP partitions, and the internal storage of the phone can only be accessed via MTP.
If you mount as disk drive, you are using USB Mass Storage ONLY. This means that only a microSD card can be read, as the internal storage is not formatted using FAT32 (it's a virtual partition inside of /data)
I used Titanium Backup to backup some game saves I had & found out not all of them got backed up so I have to start from scratch. I'm guessing some are saved on the internal storage is there any way of backing up those files?
backup internal
If you attach your computer to USB, choose Disk Drive option.
Then, in Windows Explorer, you can see both phone drives.
One (the internal you want) may be named HTC STORAGE.
Either way, you'll see both removable disks, and you can copy them
off for your backup.
Ok but the one your saying as the HTC STORAGE is actually the Phone Storage. There's 3 Drives I see on the phone Internal Storage, Phone Storage & the SD Card such as the removable disk.
3 drives
Yo, I've hooked up to XP, vista, and Win7 machines and only see 2 drives that can be accessed. Can you see data in those 3 drives you mentioned?
I don't see a Internal Storage drive

That must be a stock ROM setup??
Sorry for the mix up, I got confused it's actually a CD Rom drive. So is the Internal Storage part of the HTC Storage?
Hi, I'm using a n7000 Slimkat 4.4.4 rom, with slim kernel 3.0.80+ autobuild.
Previously I used link2sd to create a partition on my SD card to get more space on my internal, and after a while I realised my USB storage is being recognised as an SD card. I tried a full wipe and reinstalled my rom but now even the internal storage is messed up. Not even the reformat works anymore
It's too complicated to explain in words so here are the screenshots. So how f**ked am I and how do I salvage this?
Each time I link files into the card (700mb size, it worked previously) it freezes the whole phone
From the storage option I can see this:
1. Internal storage 2GB (normal, nothing wrong with it)
2. Internal storage 11GB (this should be USB storage, and it has a erase SD card option at the end)
3. SD card 2GB (It was 4GB but I used link2sd to create an internal partition. MTP and mass storage is not detected but using card reader it is fine)
4. USB storage (there is only a mount and erase SD card option which is greyed out/unclickable and does not has any space indicator)

there is nothing wrong at all.
just repartition and reformat your sdcard and dont use external sdcards for app storage.

But what about the greyed out USB storage option? I don't remember seeing it in that way

it should be grayed unless you connect usb storage to your phone.
Hi P9000 users!
I had now time to test some stuff with my P9000. One question: I inserted a Sandisk 128 GB SDXC Card (UHS) and formatted as internal Storage (want to move apps). Worked fine for the Phone and i was able to move apps to the SD. But after connecting Phone to USB (via MTP & unlocked phone) it only shows 32 GB internal SD. Also via File Explorer app on the phone i cannot find the external SD or mountpoint....
Anyone with same issue? I also changed connection-type to USB and then my OS (Win 10) does not open phone file system at all.
thx and br

We did an article about the SD card memory management in Marshmallow a while ago on the XDA portal that explains this, I'd suggest googling for it as I can't remember the title.
Edit: Something to do with the SD card being formatted as Ext4 (linux file system standard these days) and Windows not supporting Ext4 filesystems.
Thx for reply, so i am afraid its related to Android 6 default behaviour. So if SD is formatted as internal storage you cannot access via USB from PC or managing files on it via file browser app? Thats really disappointing for me since it then switches SD card to enhanced app storage only, useless for image, videos, music etc. Of course i can format as portable SD, but then no movement of apps are possible (via root its maybe the only option).
In SD portable mode, i also had issue that SD cards randomly disconnects and one time it even needed to be reformatted. Have read about that in another thread, that this is related to physical sd mount... will see to fix this with some tape :/ (gives me not a good feeling here)

Update: checked some forums and blogs, seems not to be android 6 default behavior that you completely cannot access the files on adopted SD-card anymore. after adopting as internal storage... anyone could also reproduce this? I will try doing factory reset with SD-Card inserted..
